"I'd Be A Legend In My Time"
(originally by Don Gibson)


If heartaches brought fame
In loves crazy game
I'd be a legend in my time

If they gave gold statuettes
For tears and regrets
I'd be a legend in my time

But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken
Over love that's in vain

If loneliness meant world acclaim
Everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time

If loneliness meant world acclaim
Everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time

"I'll Say It's My Fault"

"I'll Say It's My Fault"


Too many quarrels so now we break up.
No there's no chance to ever make-up,
But when they ask me.

I'll say it's my fault.
I'll take all the blame.
I'll say I was wild,
When I should have been tame.

I'll say it's my fault.
I'll give a good show.
I'll say I'm a needle
That just wouldn't sew.

Ev'ry one will be wondering,
All our friends will inquire.
Which one did the blundering,
Who put out the fire?

So, I'll say it's my fault.
I'll say there's no doubt,
Then cry as I wonder,
Why it didn't work out.

"I'm A Southern Man"

"I'm A Southern Man"


Send me a pan of corn bread with some turnip greens on the side
And if you really want to mess with my head give me anything southern fried
Give me some faded blue jeans and a pair of old cowboy boots
and I'm gonna tell you where I come from tell you somethin about my roots
I'm a southern man, I'm a southern man,
I'm a southern man, [spoken] I'm a southern man

Send me a woman to love me with a lot of meat on her bones
There's something about a big lady I just can't leave em alone
I'd like to take her down to the river go skinny dippin in the night
Aint nothin like being with my lady and makin love in the pale moon light
Cause I'm a southern man, a hah ah
I'm a southern man, I'm a southern Man, southern man, I'm a southern man

Give me that soulful music it sure makes me feel so nice
So I can do the alligator and get it on every Saturday night
Give me that Southern Comfort, give me Annie Greensprings wine
Take me on down to the bayou and I'll sure have a real good time

I'm a southern man
I'm a southern man
I'm a southern man
I'm a southern man...

"I'm Hurtin'"

"I'm Hurtin'"


Felt this way yesterday,
Today I keep hurtin', yeah hurtin'
Time goes by, right on by, and I,
I'm still hurtin', yeah hurtin'.

You walked away, the pain began,
I knew I'd never love again.
Oh my heart tore apart,
And I'm sure hurtin', yeah hurtin'.

You walked away, the pain begain,
I knew I'd never love again.
Seems to me my destiny
Is to be just hurtin', yeah hurtin.

"I'm In A Blue, Blue Mood"

"I'm In A Blue, Blue Mood"


I'm in a blue blue mood
Now that you're gone away
I'm in a blue blue mood
It's been a lonesome day
I'm in a blue blue mood
I see you everywhere
I reach out to hold you
But you're not there
It's just my blue blue mood.

Maybe, someday, yeah love will come
And stay, and things will turn
Out right, oh oh oh but for tonight
I'm in a blue blue mood.

I'm in a blue blue mood
I'm in a blue blue mood
I'm in a blue blue mood.

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
(originally by Hank Williams)

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
(originally by Hank Williams)


Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill?
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
And I'm so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever see a night so long
When time goes crawlin' by?
The moon just went behind a cloud
And I'm so lonesome I could cry

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
That means he's lost the will to live
And I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a fallin' star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Yeah I-I could cry-eye-eye
I could cry-eye, eye-eye-eye, I-I could cry-eye
I could cry-eye, oh-oh-oh-oh
I-I could cry, I could cry

"I'm The Man On Susie's Mind"

"I'm The Man On Susie's Mind"


Morning comes into my room, through pretty purple curtains
And looks upon a man so satisfied, I hold a woman in my arms
And watch her while she's sleeping, and I know that I'm the man on Suzie's mind

I'm the pretty dress she buys, I'm the little bug she drives
I'm the picture that she shows to everybody that she knows
I'm the wiggle in her walk, I'm the giggle in her talk
I'm the happy little song she sings, she wears my love for all to see

Sail on by, silver moon, I won't follow you this time
I've got heaven in my arms tonight, I'm the man on Suzie's mind
I'm the stops on her way home, I'm the dime in the telephone
I'm the honey that she talks about, I'm the old meanie when she pouts

I'm the carpet, need her feet every night before she sleeps
I'm the pillow where she lays her head, I'm the last word that she said
Sail on by, silver moon, I won't follow you this time
I've got heaven in my arms tonight, I'm the man on Suzie's mind
I've got heaven in my arms tonight, I'm the man on Suzie's mind
I've got heaven in my arms tonight, I'm the man on Suzie's mind...

"I've Been Loving You Too Long"
(originally by Otis Redding)

"I've Been Loving You Too Long"
(originally by Otis Redding)


I've been loving you a little too long
To stop right now
You're tired, and you wanna be free
My love is growing stronger
As you become a habit to me
Ooh, and loving you a little too long
I don't wanna stop right now
Oh with you my life has been so wonderful
I just can't stop now

You're tired and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger
As our affair grows old
And I've been loving you a little too long
I don't wanna stop now

Ooh, too long, long
Don't wanna stop my loving you right now
No, oh I've been loving you a little too long
To stop right now
Ooh, loving you a little too long
To stop right now

No, no, I can't stop now. no
Loving you a little too long
To stop right now, I can't stop...

"If Only For Awhile"

"If Only For Awhile"


For a while I can sing
All the world and everything is touching you
Knowing you are real a miracle beside me

For a while I can breathe
Life is you, and I can cling to fantasies
Seeing me with you keeps my soul alive now

Tomorrow, if I die
At least I'll know why I live
You're mine, if only for a while

For a while, for a while
You hold my world and you can spin it
For a while, for a while
Life is good because you're in it

Tomorrow, if I die
At least I'll know why I live
You're mine, you are mine, if only for a while

"If You Can't Say Something Nice"

"If You Can't Say Something Nice"


Don't talk about her, she does the best she can
Don't talk about her, Don't talk about her
She's just lost her man
She's lonely, just try and understand.

And if you can't say something nice
Don't say anything at all
Don't you know that she's had a bad, bad fall
And if you can't say something nice
Don't say anything at all.

Don't talk about her, because she feels that way

Don't talk about her, don't talk about her
She don't feel so good today
She's crying, because her baby walked away.

And if you can't say something nice
Don't say anything at all
Don't you know that she's had a bad, bad fall
And if you can't say something nice
Don't say anything at all.
